Events on this Day

The Art Squirrels, a local art collective, will be displaying their show "Emergence" from March 25 through mid-May. The show features colorful and diverse works in paint, chalk, fabric, glass, upcycled materials, and mixed media by Bethany Bachmann, Cindy Coleman, Janet Kenna, Amanda Preston Araujo, Jenny Treanor, and Amy Vaclav.

You're invited to the 14th Annual International Good Medicine Confluence, 4 days and nights of education and celebration featuring 43 inspiring teachers presenting over 100 inspiring classes and workshops/playshops exploring subjects as diverse as: Medicinal Plants & Their Actions, Home Medicine Making, Assessment & Treatments, New Science & Ancient Wisdom, Mushrooms, Mead Making and Botanical Cocktails, Cannabis, Plant Identification & Cultivation, Aromatherapy, Making Artisanal Products & Launching an Herbal Enterprise, Healthful Foods & Creative Cooking, Alchemy, Plant Mythos, Creating Healthier Community and much more! Enjoy the Kid's Village with family activities, and the cherished Plants & Faeries Masquerade Ball.   Folks have been speaking of it for over a year already as a "Return of The Tribe," acknowledging the pent-up hunger to convene physically again with kindred plant healers, visionaries and practitioners. It is a vastly diverse and widely dispersed clan of clinicians, activists, artisans and home medicine makers holding close to those they sense are their "people." It is for you impassioned natural healer of bodies, psyches and planet that these events are dedicated.
